I converted my 85 from auto to manual. The new clutch safety switch has two female plugs. One is for the starter interrupt,. not sure what the other is for but it doesn't matter. Anyway, there's no way to use female connectors on it, the male spades are embedded in the plastic plug.

Anybody have a lead on this or able to snip me off the plug from a manual trans equipped square body?

I switched the 73 C10 from manual to Auto. I'm not sure if it had the safety switch. Any idea what it would look like?

This is the switch. It has two sockets. The pigtail I need goes to the side closest to the firewall, left in the photos.

its a white pull push switch on clutch pedal linkage. i have one somewhere in my electricals stash, and 84 older is alot different than 85 up, hydraulic vs mechanical.

I did this 5 years ago, all I did was remove the clutch pedal and all the rods. Mine was a three speed on the column.
